This video by PIVOT Dublin about design and its importance to all of life completely AMAZED me. Everything from the configuration of the design images, the application of their form in a manner that enables functionality, to the music scores, choreography et cetera stuns me. I adore how basically complex ideas are ‘attacked’ and communicated…reminds me of an expression-centric quote…

Forbes Woman Africa
So I’m at my campus library this evening, and as I was casually catching up on some fashion and beauty reading (a welcome distraction from stressful studying), I stumbled upon this cover. Thank you Google images! Haha. Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe graced the prestigious cover of Forbes Woman Africa magazine’s inaugral issue last month –…
Nedbank Savvy TVC
“…Because when you’re more savvy with your money, there’s nothing in your life you can’t achieve…” Not my favourite TVC out right now, but I like the educational value of it as the agency responsible, Joe Public, was able to very aptly capture the basics of financial literacy as it were: savings accounts, renting vs…
Africa Means Business
The past couple of hours have been intense and a little strenuous on me that I neglected letting you in on a few worthwhile events which were scheduled for this weekend as a result. From basic observation, it would seem that the business world has a thing for September. Something about the days on the…
Art & Copy
I’ve heard and read some wonderful things about this documentary on the Advertising industry, and so I wanted to see exactly what the fuss was all about…and kill my oblivion in the process. Directed by Doug Pray, and released in 2009, it sets out to inspire and fascinate , and exceeds even THOSE objectives plus…
Absolut moves
ABSOLUT Vodka is teaming up with the hipster-haven suburb of Newtown to host Absolut FIT. Now, I don’t drink alcoholic beverages out of choice, but I do however support brands which encourage excellence from people – especially the youth. The incorporation of the aesthetic together with the semi-intellectual is, I feel, without a doubt one…
Nonhlanhla ‘Noni’ Gasa
KZN has produced some exceptional talent – Zulu women who have taken their positions in the South African media industry in an admirable fashion. Noni started out on the youth magazine program, Take 5, back in the 1990s as a field presenter, and is one of the few people in the public eye that I…
MarieClaire: August
I was quite happy to see August’s cover with the face of a woman of substance, Princess Charlene of Monaco (a gorgeous Zimbabwean-born South African swimmer making her mark in the international realm) – an impressive choice considering August is Women’s Month in SA. [Fabulous Fact: Charlene got married to highly revered Hollywood actress, Grace…
Dossier
I first became acquainted with this work of photographic art back in 2010 whilst at Rhodes University as a Journalism and Media Studies student. It belonged to a tut-mate of mine who, from what I could deduce back then, knew her story with fashion. So, I asked to lend it for a few days. To…
ELLE – the iconic issue
The month of August is almost nigh…and super exciting to see one of my favourite models on the cover. Oluchi Orlandi (nee Onweagba). I have mentioned her in past posts. She’s really just one of those very loveable women, who make you want to sit up straight in your seat — I mean…look at that…
Welcome to South Africa
Born in 1991, the year in which Nelson Mandela was elected President of the African National Congress (ANC), I honestly cannot say I know a South Africa much different from the one I live in today. However, with the fact in mind, I am not content with leaving the past untouched. I want to know…and…
